Ariana Grande’s 30 biggest hits on the Hot 100
Ariana Grande may have first come to public attention through the Nickelodeon series Victoriousbut the real triumph was her rise from teen TV star to music industry giant, the likes of which few artists have ever achieved. Grande became a fan favorite from the start: her debut single, the Mac Miller-assisted “The Way,” entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, while the previous album, 2013’s Best regardsdebuted at number one on the Billboard 200.
Such performances became the norm for Grande over the next decade of her dazzling career, with 22 top 10s—including nine No. 1s—on the Hot 100 and six of her seven studio albums reaching the top spot on the Billboard 200. During this time, she also developed into a versatile singer, scoring hits across pop, R&B, dance, and Christmas songs. In addition, Grande’s versatility—both vocally and creatively—made her a sought-after collaborator, working with a range of hitmakers, including Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, and, of course, several successful collaborations with The Weeknd and Nicki Minaj.
Since Grande celebrates her birthday on June 26, Billboard counts down the multi-talented singer and actress’ 30 biggest hits on the Billboard Hot 100 charts – yay.
Ariana Grande’s biggest hits chart on the Billboard Hot 100 is based on her actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 through June 29, 2024. Songs are ranked using a reverse scoring system, with weeks at number 1 receiving the highest score and weeks at number 100 receiving the lowest score. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates during different time periods.
